The impending advent of perl5.10 is leading me to think about what I'd like to see in a perl5.12.
<p>
Off the top of my head:
<ul><li>Nested statement modifiers (e.g. <c>EXPR1 if EXPR2 for LIST</c> instead of <c>EXPR2 and EXPR1 for LIST</c>)</li>
<li>Method names given as expressions (<c>$foo->do{ EXPR }(LIST)</c> instead of <c>my $tmp=EXPR; $foo->$tmp(LIST)</c> or <c>$foo->${\(EXPR)}(LIST)</c>)</li>
<li>Attributes on packages (allowing e.g. <c>package Foo:extends("Bar")</c>)</li>
</ul>
</p>
Anybody else have ideas?
